It is a historical accident I think. The Qpid project has a lot of interesting and inter-related things going on around AMQP. Proton is an important sub-project but not the only one. In the early days it was felt by some that proton really needed its own list, but I think in practice that has turned out to be a bad idea that just isolates and breaks up discussions. The user list is not so heavily trafficked and most interesting discussions that touch on proton also touch on other Qpid projects. So I generally post to the user list but I keep an eye on this one. I'd change the reference on the site if I wasn't afeared of a firestorm. Anyone who objects please complain on the proton list only ;)
